Brain volumetric deficits in MAPT mutation carriers: a multisite study. A subset of presymptomatic carriers showed low volumes in mesial temporal lobe, the region atrophied in all symptomatic carriers. bit.ly/34f9rnf ALLFTD Suzee Lee Salvo Spina Jennifer Yokoyama

Beautiful paper also demonstrating very similar findings of the ones that we reported in human with primary tauopathies, PSP and CBD. bit.ly/2EAF3XD

Comparison of Amyloid in Cerebrospinal Fluid, Brain Imaging and Autopsy in a Case of PSP. Case with antemortem CSF Aβ1-42 (+)/amyloid PET (-) may indicate CSF Aβ1-42 is more sensitive for assessing in vivo Aβ than amyloid PET. bit.ly/2ZKPiDI Salvo Spina

You know, I had figured that normal life could resume sometime this fall. But the magnitude of the US failure — and the retreat into denial, which will just extend the crisis — just boggles the mind
